Italian food is my family’s go-to cuisine for dinner when nights are so crazy hectic. If it’s cheesy, saucy, and has some sort of meat and pasta- they love it!

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can boil the Italian sausage in a pot, and they roast them in the oven to give them a bit of color. You can also cook the sausage links in an Instant Pot or bake them in the oven!
